Chapter 683 Cloud Sea (2)
Yang Li had an armed force in the lunar war zone, while Lin Guangzong and others quickly transferred the Jade Rabbit-class spacecraft left in Guanghan Palace City to expand the sea of clouds.
The temporary development team drove the Yutu Class No. 003, loaded with a large number of infrastructure raw materials, to the northeastern area of the sea of clouds on the front of the moon.
The Yutu-class hydrogen and oxygen engine exhaled light blue flames and slightly accelerated to push the spacecraft weighing about 1,540 tons to an altitude of 20 kilometers.
Then the spacecraft adjusted its direction and advanced southeast, with the sea of clouds in the southeast of Guanghan Palace City.
The team leader Yao Guoxian looked at the dark night sky. At this time, the front of the moon was in the moonlight during the moon night. Looking down from a high altitude, it was also dim.
The satellite navigation system and the spacecraft's own radar are running at all times. At this time, the altitude they fly is actually not much gravity. In addition, there is no thick atmosphere, so the spacecraft is flying smoothly.
Team member Wang Dabin was a transport aircraft pilot in the Air Force before, and he is now responsible for the pilot of the spacecraft.
The Jade Rabbit level is very fast, about 2.6 kilometers per second, and this speed is about 7.5 times the speed of sound.
Since the moon's escape speed is only 2.38 kilometers per second, this speed can actually fly to higher orbits, and even use a gravitational slingshot to fly back to the Blue Star.
However, the flight required to travel to the northeastern area of the Sea of Clouds is about 3,500 kilometers, and the spans of the two areas are a bit large.
At the current flight speed, there is nothing in fact. 3,500 kilometers requires about 1,346 seconds to fly. With the time of slowing down and landing, you can reach your destination in about 30 minutes.
Time passes minute by minute.
...
A simple three-cabin base is located in the northeastern area of Yunhai and adjacent to Yunhai Northwest District. After successfully landing yesterday, it started a difficult work.
This is the Alpine lunar base in Xizhou, and it is currently in a remote control state without a man. Obviously, the Western Union lacks confidence and is not as crazy as Noah, so he dare not send astronauts to serve on duty.
In fact, doing this is the safest thing. Doing it hard like Noah may be counterproductive.
However, the remote control of the Alpine base is also incurring bumps, because the West China Space Agency's communication relay satellite in lunar orbit currently has only two, so it is impossible to communicate all-weather.
Now the internal operation of the Alpine base is largely based on the base's computer program to automatically perform some set tasks.
Xizhou Space Administration is busy in the northwest area of the moon's cloud sea, and is not idle on Blue Star. It has obtained NASA's nearly 60 years of technical accumulation. They are organizing manpower and material resources to absorb these technologies.
It is estimated that in less than two or three years, the space technology of the Xizhou Space Administration will be further improved and even catch up with NASA.
As for the China Space Administration, the Xizhou Space Administration is not expecting enough, and they are still self-aware.
However, after obtaining NASA's technology, the previous embarrassment of the Western Union was relieved a little, and it was no longer as embarrassing as before.
Of course, the Greater China Federation also secretly breathed a sigh of relief for this situation.
Before you have absolutely crushed your strength, it is best to give these opponents a hope so that these guys will not be anxious.
While working hard at the West China Space Agency.
NASA also rebuilt the outpost after half a year of adjustments, but because there were two astronauts' bodies in the previous Outpost 1 base.
The second batch of astronauts came up were very resistant to the six old cabins of Outpost 1.
As a forced to get off, one outpost 2 can only be rebuilt on the western plain about 8.4 kilometers away from the outpost base.
After more than half a year of hard work, coupled with the joint efforts of the military and financial factions, it has consumed most of the industries of the new technology factions, which has greatly improved NASA's integration in the aerospace industry.
In the past six months, NASA has launched a total of 11 spacecraft to the moon and formed a 15-cabin outpost 2 base.
...
Half an hour later.
On the front of the moon, in the northeastern part of the sea of clouds, a spacecraft slowly landed here in a plain near the equator.
The engine was turned off, Yao Guoxian, Wang Dabin and Li Zhen began to perform the task according to the procedure.
350 tons of materials are stored in the cargo hold of the spacecraft, which can build 35 simple space capsules.
Since it is a simple space capsule, it is empty inside. In addition to the basic air-tight system, it is equipped with a monitoring system, micro radar, nuclear battery, and computer system.
The three people wearing hydraulic mechas opened the cargo compartment door behind the spacecraft, and the door turned into a sloping bridge path, which can be used to quickly load and unload materials up and down.
Wang Dabin pulled a space capsule base, found a flat ground, and began to assemble it. The components of these space capsules were all modularly designed.
When assembled, it feels like building blocks.
In less than two hours, they installed one of the simple space capsules. Li Zhen tested the performance of the space capsule, but there were no problems.
The next three spent about seven hours and finally assembled the three capsules. Standing in one of the capsules, Yao Guo first opened the floor, which was a hidden secret.
He took out a suitcase from behind and took out a silver-gray bottle similar to a large thermos. The top of the bottle was some wires with sockets, connecting the sockets to the designated location in the lattice.
This is a self-destructing device with 3.6 kg of N20 high-energy explosives inside, equivalent to 60 kg of TNT.
For these unattended simple strongholds, the moon zone is not too casual. If someone takes over it, it will be a risk after all.
After the self-destruction device was installed, this stronghold, codenamed "Yunhai-001", was officially included in the jurisdiction of the Moon Zone.
This is equivalent to the area within a radius of 50 kilometers with this stronghold as the center, all within the legal control of Greater China.
It's like the boundary markers of the old era.
From then on, this place has been the territory of Greater China since ancient times.
After more than seven hours of busyness, I took a compressed nutrition cream during this period, and the three of them also started to take a day off here.
Inside the cockpit of the spacecraft.
After leaving the hydraulic mecha, Yao Guo first wiped his face with a wet cloth. Li Zhen, who was standing beside him, asked while searching:
"Brother Yao, Brother Wang, what do you want to eat?"
Putting the wet cloth into a special dehydrator, Yao Guo replied without hesitation: "Let's beef rice bowl!"
"I want spicy chicken chop rice." Wang Dabin said, checking the spaceship's multi-computer system.
"OK."
Taking out the dishes he wanted to eat and throw them into the oven. Li Zhen took another apple with decore and ate the apple. The sweet and sour taste was his favorite taste.
Yao Guoxian, who was writing a work log, recorded his work status today on his tablet computer in a simplified manner.
Life in space is not as high-end as imagined. They are used to working on the moon, and they are not too nervous.
At least for the Greater China Federation, entering the moon is just a small step to expand the universe.
If there are nearly 243 astronauts like Yao Guoxian's team, and this number will increase in the future.
A simple and balanced dinner, everyone was watching TV silently while eating.
